    Re: OCR program?

    Hi
    Many thanks for the reply. I shall look into that, and follow carefully. Tutorials are really useful.
    If I don't post again here for a little while, it's because I'm going to be more than a bit busy. I learned last week that I am to be made redundant, so I'm frantically making job applications. So, I'm not ignoring the above post if that happens,
    Many thanks.
    Regards
    Nifty

    Which OCR engine did you use in gscan2pdf. I use OCRopus and it works very well for me but you do have to scan at 300dpi. I like OCRopus since it saves the position of the text with the location in the image. Under gscan2pdf, I save the text and image as a PDF or DJvu file and then I can search against the text. I even setup a folder for all my scans then used recoll to build a searchable db just on my scans and I can find anything quickly.

    With Lubuntu 12.10, this is what I see when I search the Lubuntu Software Center for tesseract. I get one hit for yagf. Adding that to the basket shows the image attached ...

    Try searching it in Synaptic package manager.
    LSC obviously doesn't offer it.

    I'm not going to install yagf to see if it indeed offers a functional tesseract via a GUI but my feeling is that LSC (12.10) obviously does offer it.
